    摘要: Improved techniques for performing data transfer with respect to a portable electronic device are disclosed. The improved techniques enable the rate of data transfer to be dependent on at least one battery attribute of a battery utilized by the portable electronic device. As an example, the at least one battery attribute can be associated with a charge level of the battery. In one embodiment, when the charge level of the battery is deemed low, the rate of data transfer can be restricted, thereby reducing the rate of power consumption. Typically, data transfer is performed between the portable electronic device and a host device via a cable. The cable also provides power from the host device to the portable electronic device. Hence, by reducing the rate of data transfer when the charge level of the battery is low, power consumption of the portable electronic device can be controlled so that it is not more than the amount of power capable of being supplied to the portable electronic device over the cable. The portable electronic device can, for example, be a portable data storage device (e.g., portable disk drive) or a portable media device (e.g., portable media player).

An embodiment of the disclosed burners includes, inter alia, a burner housing, a pilot combustor and a quencher. The burner housing has axially opposed upstream and downstream end portions. Additionally, the housing has at least one main fuel inlet passage and at least one main air inlet passage which are adapted to supply fuel and air respectively to an internal chamber defined in the housing. The pilot combustor is disposed along the axis of the burner housing and has an inlet for receiving a rich fuel and air mixture, a combustion chamber within which the rich fuel and air mixture is combusted into combustion products, and an outlet for exhausting the combustion products from the combustion chamber. The quencher is disposed within the internal chamber of the burner housing along the central axis and positioned at the outlet of the pilot combustor. The quencher has an air inlet and a plurality of radially-oriented air outlets for directing cooling air toward the outlet of the pilot combustor and quenching the combustion products exhausted from the pilot combustor.

    摘要: A system and method, including software implemented techniques, can be used to adjust for sag in stored data values. Charge is applied to multiple memory cells, and each memory cell is charged to a target voltage corresponding to a data value. The memory cells include a reference cell that is charged to a predetermined voltage. A voltage level in the reference cell is detected, and voltage levels from a group of memory cells are also detected. An adjustment is performed based upon the difference between the detected voltage level in the reference cell and the predetermined voltage.

    摘要: Techniques for reducing dismount time for a peripheral device connected to an external host device are presented. Instead of waiting for a dismount procedure to complete, a reply message indicating that dismount operations have been completed is sent to the external host device. This triggers a message from the external host device that the peripheral device is ready to be safely removed. The peripheral device completes the dismount operations including cache and memory cleanup after the reply message indicating that dismount operations have been completed is sent to the external host device. The dismount operations may be completed under battery power if necessary. This enables quicker unplugging of the peripheral device from the external host device and can allow the peripheral device to transition from a first mode into a second mode faster.

    摘要: Apparatus and associated systems, methods and computer program products relate to using information stored in a flash memory to adjust the operating voltage supplied to the flash memory. The voltage information indicates a minimum operating voltage at which to operate the flash memory device. In general, operating a flash memory device near a minimal operating voltage may substantially minimize power consumption. The minimum operating voltage for individual flash memory devices may vary from IC to IC, by manufacturing lot, and by manufacturer. In a product, the minimum operating voltage for a particular flash memory may be determined, for example, by a controller built-in to a flash memory reporting (automatically or in response to a query) the minimum operating voltage (e.g., 2.5 V, 3.15 V) to a memory controller or microprocessor. The stored voltage information may further include information to adjust the operating voltage based on temperature.

    摘要: A method for managing data storage is described. The method includes receiving data from an external host at a peripheral storage device, detecting a file system type of the external host, and adapting a caching policy for transmitting the data to a memory accessible by the storage device, wherein the caching policy is based on the detected file system type. The detection of the file system type can be based on the received data. The detection bases can include a size of the received data. In some implementations, the detection of the file system type can be based on accessing the memory for file system type indicators that are associated with a unique file system type. Adapting the caching policy can reduce a number of data transmissions to the memory. The detected file system type can be a file allocation table (FAT) system type.
